Core Serializer

Serializer ID: resourcefulbees:core/v1

The core serializer controls a bee's produced honeycomb variation, pollination targets, hive timing, and lore.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Range / accepted forms
honeycombVariation	string	No	""	Honeycomb variation identifier/name. Empty means no variation.
flower	registry predicate of blocks	No	minecraft:poppy	A block ID, #tag, or list of block IDs.
entityFlower	registry predicate of entity types	No	empty predicate ([])	An entity ID, #tag, or list of entity IDs.
maxTimeInHive	integer	No	2400	600 through 2147483647.
lore	array of Minecraft Components	No	[]	Each entry may be a string, non-empty component list, or component object.

Example

{
  "resourcefulbees:core/v1": {
    "honeycombVariation": "ruby",
    "flower": "#minecraft:flowers",
    "entityFlower": [],
    "maxTimeInHive": 2400,
    "lore": [
      "A warm, gem-like bee."
    ]
  }
}

honeycombVariation

This value selects the output variation used when the bee produces honeycombs. The codec default is an empty string.

flower and entityFlower

Both fields use Resourceful Bees' registry-predicate codec. Accepted compact forms are:

"minecraft:poppy"

"#minecraft:flowers"

[
  "minecraft:poppy",
  "minecraft:dandelion"
]

flower targets blocks. entityFlower uses the same syntax for entity types.

maxTimeInHive

This is the base hive residence time before tier modifiers are applied. Values lower than 600 are rejected by the codec.

lore

Lore is a list of Minecraft chat components. Plain strings are valid, so simple lore does not need the expanded component-object syntax.

"lore": [
  "First line",
  {
    "text": "Second line",
    "italic": false
  }
]
